Learning Coronary Angiographic Views (Elias Hanna)

The speaker discusses basic geographic views, their uses for first-year fellows, and the directional movement of different vessel branches.

00:09 Basic concepts in geographic views for first-year fellows

06:44 Reo cranial view is defined by the position of the hands and ribs

19:25 The caudal view is excellent for visualizing the distal left main and proximal portions of the LED, circumflex, and diagonal branches.

25:02 Cranial views are good for distal dominant or co-dominant left circumflex.

36:15 Septals do not torque or shorten in systole

41:41 Cranial and straight views are not suitable for analyzing the osteum and distal left main

52:30 Crisp summary about vein graft imaging.

58:11 Different views are used to visualize different parts of the graft and native vessels.

1:08:37 Aryo strait may be good for anastomosis, but try to see the anastomosis and don't ignore it.

Understanding the caudal and cranial views and their applications
Noting the direction of movement for the left circumflex, led, and diagonal branches in relation to the image
Recognizing the characteristics of forshortening and its impact on lesion visibility
Differentiating between cranial and caudal views based on the position of the diaphragm
